CWE-78  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 gvim to version 8.0.1568-5.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gvim package and not the gvim package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

getchar.c in Vim before 8.1.1365 and Neovim before 0.3.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via the :source! command in a modeline, as demonstrated by execute in Vim, and assert_fails or nvim_input in Neovim.
